Since 2011, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) incidence appears unchanged in the European Union/European Economic Area with between 29,000 and 33,000 new cases reported annually up to 2015. Despite evidence that HIV diagnosis is occurring earlier post-infection, the estimated number of people living with HIV (PLHIV) who were unaware of being infected in 2015 was 122,000, or 15% of all PLHIV (n=810,000). This is concerning as such individuals cannot benefit from highly effective treatment and may unknowingly sustain transmission.
自2011年以来,欧盟/欧洲经济区的人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)发病率似乎没有变化,截至2015年,每年报告的新病例在29,000至33,000例之间。尽管有证据表明HIV感染后诊断时间提前,但2015年估计仍有12.2万例HIV感染者(PLHIV)未意识到自己已感染,占所有PLHIV的15%(n = 81万)。这令人担忧,因为这类人无法从高效治疗中获益,可能在不知不觉中持续传播病毒。
